    Brilliant spelling error. It was indeed the celluloid equivalent of one of those heavy poos that one of your co-workers do that sits at the bottom of the bowl and takes at least ten-fifteen flushes to get rid of, all the while infusing the water like a fecal tea bag.

    Now tell us what you really think of it! :D

    I do recall seeing it on my Netflix. I'd watch a fair few music documentaries so it used to pop up as a recommendation for me - I thought his music was pure muck so I never had an interest in watching it. Mind you, in the wake of his death, I wouldn't have minded a gander at it in a rubber-necking sort of way. Did he commit suicide?

    I liked Aviciis music, especially his earlier stuff..... I grew up with it as I’m the same age. I remember when he broke through with levels (and on a smaller scale with ‘seek bromance’, etc. prior to that).

    I never actually knew it was on Netflix before. That’s a shame that it was taken down. It might reappear again hopefully.

    Have you any other music doc recommendations (on Netflix) by any chance? I like all genres of music tbh....

    The Janis Joplin one is great. As is the Nina Simone one. The A Tribe Called Quest one is brilliant. The Whitney Housten one is like a slow car crash and it's very sad to watch. The one I probably enjoyed the most was Long Time Running, the documentary about Canadian band The Tragically Hip's last tour after their lead singer's diagnosis of cancer of the brain. Strangely sad and uplifting at the same time. They were a band I had no interest in before watching it but I came away from it a big fan.

    Deadly, thanks Kunst Nugget! I’ll check all of them out :)

    Think I’ve seen the Nina Simone one..... although I would welcome a rewatch! A Tribe called quest is a timely recommendation too, as I’m currently going through their back catalogue on Spotify!

    The Tribe one had me hoovering up all their albums. Their last album We Got it from Here is probably my favourite album of the last couple of years.

    There's an Outkast documentary that is great and The Defiant Ones is brilliant.
    There's also a decent James Brown one and another about Sharon Jones.

    He is a fantastic comedian.. think it's great that he's actually cracking up at some of his own jokes in it.

    There's a documentary up called Gringo about the crazy McAfee guy.

    Gave this a watch last night. It was ok - He is a tapped. A nasty individual.

    Update on the 'True stories' doc; I have confirmed that it's not on Netflix, but I managed to find it on a streaming site. It's well worth the watch imo..... very insightful and beautifully produced, but also very sad viewing at times (retrospectively) due to the current circumstances :(

    Watched all of Happy yesterday, wasn't expecting it to be that good and it got better with each episode. Well recommended.

    Some crazy Stuff,but my type of humour :D

    Watched the first three episodes and laughed my head off.

    Ya found it myself online. Poor man. He had nothing but vultures around him. The way he was treated after when just discharged from hospital was disgusting, I mean I think he was forced to perform a day or two later.

    Couldn't recommend this enough, twisted humour, and great performance

    Arrested Development Season 4 Remix:Fatal Consequences is out this Friday. It's an extended cut of season 4 but in chronological order this time.

    Season 5 is not too far away either.

    Does season 4 improve? I loved the first three seasons but I just can't get into it this time.

    I dunno! I ended up half watching it, half watching my phone so with the time jumps I guess I missed a lot of the subtleties about how each characters story missed the other. I think what may have jarred with people was that it was a different template than the previous 3 so seemed different. One of the reasons it was done that way was due to the full cast not being available at the same time so they went ahead and done character episodes.

    I couldn't get stuck into it either so it ended up as one of those shows that I'd put on in the background just to kill a 20 minute or so window I had so I reckon I'll watch the remix and pay attention this time.

    There's already people on unsocial media asking how they're going to treat Jeffrey Tambor's role going into the 5th season, hashtagging the usual hashtags over the claims of sexual harassment by him.

    Will the remix be available on Netflix?

    Loved Seasons 1 to 3. Season 4 just didn't work though.

    Netflix own the full rights to arrested development now, I think...?

    I loved seasons 1-3, but felt season 4 was a bit forced at times, but watchable. Wonder how season 5 will fare. Any idea when it’s due out?

    There's a dedicated thread over on the TV forum with some chatter on the Season 4 remix etc., but basically there's no date yet on a Season 5. I THINK they've already shot the fifth season but not sure. Mitch Hurwitz said there'd be an announcement 'soon'.

    Just finished watching The Chalet, interesting murder/mystery type of series, sort of a French Twin Peaks style to it. Lovely scenery in it, filmed in around the French Alps, worth checking out....

    I watched the 'Delivery Man' with Vince Vaughan the other night.

    Eh, it's grand. Not the best comedy ever, it's quite a cliched plot - essentially, something you could have in the background which you're not paying much attention to. Simon Delaney is in it and one of the former cast members from SNL, Bobby Moynihan.
